I have always said that my #2 career choice is Marine Biologist. This may be due to excessive viewing of Jacques Cousteau documentaries during my impressionable earlier years, rather than a full understanding of what marine biologists actually do. Still, it no doubt explains why we head off to the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park every six weeks or so.
This particular day, it was quite cold (for Vancouver). We walked 2.5 km along the sea wall, stopping to stomp on icy puddles.
That satisfied the destructive urge, then we headed to the playground until we were all frozen, then into the Aquarium. We saw all our old friends. The octopus was hiding in his cave. The jellyfish looked lovely. And Thing Two enjoyed watching the electric eel through the dome. They had placed electrodes in the water so that when the electric eel zapped, it caused the lights on a Christmas tree to flash.
